About This Event

Third Man Records is bringing its acclaimed pop-up experience to Glasgow from 18–20 September, transforming the legendary Monorail Music into a temporary Third Man outpost packed with exclusive vinyl, limited-edition merchandise, posters, books and more. Marking the first time Third Man Records has brought its pop-up experience to Scotland, the Glasgow takeover follows the huge success of the recent pop-ups in Bristol, Newcastle, Belfast and Dublin; which have seen fans queue around the block to get their hands on exclusive releases and merchandise. Long committed to championing independent music and the record shops that keep vinyl culture thriving, Third Man Records is partnering with Monorail Music for the Glasgow leg of its UK & Ireland pop-up tour. Monorail Music was founded in 2002 by Stephen McRobbie (also known as Stephen Pastel, frontman of the band The Pastels) and Dep Downie, along with former music writer John Williamson. The Glasgow pop-up follows the recent release of Jack White’s Frozen Charlotte, which was first teased through a series of mysterious glitches interrupting Third Man Records’ livestream webinars. In recent weeks, fans may have spotted the mysterious Frozen Charlatan character from Jack White’s Frozen Charlotte album cover making appearances online. Now, rumours suggest the elusive trickster has stolen a cache of Jack White records and is quietly distributing homemade “bootleg” sleeve editions through independent record shops. Housed in a hand-screen-printed sleeve, each copy is a unique collectable. Whether fact or fiction remains to be seen — but visitors to Monorail Music might just uncover the truth for themselves… Image Credit: David Swanson
